That's not a problem due to the restriction timeline however. If there is
an exception for the life of the mother or child, as there definitely should be IMO, then there should be clarity on exactly what that means (I'll agree that clarity isn't always there in the laws, sometimes by design unfortunately). And if there is any doubt on whether the exception applies, there must be a quick and easy way for the woman and providers to get a ruling, so there is no doubt or fear of reprisal. That would be true if the no reason needed restriction were 12, 15, 24, or even 30 weeks.
If it were up to me, if two or three qualified physicians agree it's necessary and meets the exception, that's certainly good enough for me. If that's not good enough for others, then there should be a state medical agency that can quickly give a ruling.
